Summer is so lovely.
It’s a time to slow down.
Reconnect as a family.
Enjoy one another.
Play.
Lounge.
Rest.

And we have been doing all of this.
Here is a little of what we’ve been up to so far this summer!

There are certain recipes that have always intimidated me. Homemade breads & pies were at the top of that list. But coming up close behind was apple crisp.
I know. I know. Ridiculous. Because apple crisp is probably one of the easiest desserts you can make.
I guess I was afraid because I can remember my mom making it ALL the time, and it always being the hit of the party. I suppose living up to that intimidated me.

Today was our son’s last day of school.
Yippeeeeeee!
Summer has officially started!
Was it just me, or did this year fly by like crazy fast?

Our boy is very excited that next year he will be in….GRADE TWO!

Yikes, how did that happen? Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was crying because my baby was going into preschool? Awww…. ok, now I’m starting to tear up again.
